Funny to watch but I'd be pissed if that was my car!

My 2 cents I feel it's a "Perk" for a volly kind of like a thank you chief for all of the time and energy you put in over the years protecting our towns. No I don't think every member of a volly dept should get this same "perk" because as stated before a chief officer has a lot more responsibilities then any other member of a dept and I hope he puts a lot more time and effort into the job. Besides I know in my dept the members do get a few perks themselves. For example free movie passes up to 5 tickets, free pool memberships at the town pool for you AND your family, a work out room in HQ. So I really don't think a car that probably IS being used 80% of the time for dept issues cant be used for personal matters as well. Just don't abuse it.

Yes I agree that the persons post who got deleted or edited should be notified. But other then that I really feel the mods and admin are doing a great job and should keep up the good work. It's been said before and I will say it again if you don't like the way things go here just LEAVE no one is holding a gun to your head and making you log on to this site. Sorry for the rant but this bothers me that all these people do is complain about this site and it's FREE for anyone to come and go.

Got it yesterday at 12:00pm. Works like a charm!!! And fits like a glove!

Thank You

I also believe Elmsford will use the trunking channels when they go duel response with Hawthorne to the Landmark and Home Depot.

lol just how some people drive through town roads and parkways as if they're on 95

ahhh ok don't mind me Im a little slow today! Long day.

for some people it does...than again, that's kinda the problem!

I dont get it

if you look for xxx2 call signs, they were there too. PHFD had all THREE top dogs there!

LOL well I guess PHFD figured that they only do 30 calls a year so whats the chance they get banged out with another one!

These are great keep em coming!

there are so many xxx1 call numbers (the chiefs). i know this gets brought up all the time, but is their really a need to have soooo many chiefs respond to a scene where IC is already established? what about their own districts? seems like a lot of "i wanna play" and not enough i should stay back and take care of the fort.

I think thats why depts. also have Asst. chiefs.

I95 doesn't go through Hawthorne and Valhalla.

HAHA good work! I hope you guys have enough money in the budget to rebuild!

You either have to lock out or delete the transit talkgroup bank, and set the trunking mode to (closed) ID SCAN

If you have it in (open) ID SEARCH mode, it will still pick up any talkgroup in the system.

Ok thank you I will try to delete them b/c I had it closed and I was only hearing part of a conversation now that its open I hear everything but also get the buses.

ok sorry 1 more thing I hear talking but its from the buses is there a way I could not listen to the buses and only hear fire/ems??

Ok thanks I think I figured it out just waiting to hear someone talk now!

The reason commisioners and chiefs dont like this site is because they see many first responders in the 18-40 age group who are unhappy with the state of emergency services in not only the Huson Valley but nationwide. These comissioners/chiefs and their ideas have held power for a long time over their individual fifedoms and kingdoms and they are desperate to hold on to it. There is a whole generation of young people out there who are extremely passionate about firefighting, EMS and law enforcement, and they are getting together on the internet and imagining radical change to the way we train, operate and organize. The "establishment" is terrified of this free exchange of information and ideas.

well said!

hey gang I was just wondering did anyone else order that helmet light called the "buddy light"? if you did how do you like it? I just ordered one myself.

I was debating ordering one too please let me know how you like it when you get it.

Another question about the points. How do some members with only like 30 or something posts have over a million points?? Just out of curiosity. Also this doesn't really have anything to do with points but how come there are Alpha members with only 30 or so posts?? I read the thread about it and they said you can also be and alpha member if you consistently post well thought out and well informed posts but some members are only here for a few months with only 30 posts. Im not trying to start a battle just curious.

Im working my post count up I used to just sit back and read but I find my self posting more and more these days!

Great article! The New York Post also has a long article about this as well.

How would it weed out the bad seeds? You can just give a fake name. How are you going to prove who anybody is? Unless you start getting SS #'s, Drivers License#'s or start doing RETINAL SCANS. Just leave it as is.

True. How are the verified members verified now?? What happens now when you have to "apply" for membership?

Wishing you a speedy recovery brother!

I have a questions it might have been answered already but I can't seem to find it. In order to hear the whole conversation do you need to have the bee line bus talkgroups programed in? I did not program them into my scanner and I seem to be only getting half of a convo. If not, do you have any suggestions as to why this is happening?

Im kind of on the fence with this whole topic I see the points both HFD and ONEEYED have regarding the safety of their families and such but I also have to agree with the other posts saying that it would "weed" out some of the bad seeds here. I guess I could go either way.

What did everyone think of the seminar on saturday???

I couldn't make it due to work, but a lot of people said it was very good.
